Why? The Children’s Heart Foundation is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charitable organization solely committed to funding life-saving Congenital Heart Defect (CHD) research. CHDs are the #1 birth defect in the US, affecting nearly 1 out of every 100 babies born. CHF’s mission is to fund the most promising research to advance the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of CHDs. The money you collect will help CHF fund life-saving CHD research.
